A 23-year-old female was admitted to our hospital with abdominal pain and diarrhea. Preoperative abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography revealed ileocecal intussusception. Emergency laparotomy was performed due to escalation of the patient’s abdominal pain and development of acute abdomen. During the laparotomy, we found an ileocecal intussusception and solid mass in the cecum, and an ileocecal resection was performed. Histopathological examination showed cystic lymphangioma in the cecum. This case emphasizes that lymphangioma, a rare benign tumor, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of intussusception.
